Fear of failure is a powerful thing. In The Nerdist Way, Chris Hardwick talks about how our brains try to protect us from failure by telling us not to try. Our brain means well but it is one of those times when we must ignore our impulses.

Our brains do brainwash us sometimes :)That's why it's important & tough to be tough & shield our brain that's in turn trying to shield us from work :) That means a lot of work on our part to be stronger than our impulses. Best of luck to all of us!

Your poem is brilliant, Anita, and well received;you spoke from personal experience, as I perceived.The fear of failure can be a suffocating impetus.It is better to see results, than be bound by guess.
